It’s just another example of the malevolent forces out there further dividing and conquering... people are stupid and take their stupidity out on others.

Expecting a new law to crack down on violence against Semitic people in 3...2...

I mean, they just did one for violence against asian people. I guess the laws that make violence against PEOPLE illegal wasn't specific enough. Gotta' make sure those divisions stay in place. 'Cuz if you treat everyone the same without making special allowances for their differences, you're a racist.

Let me start by saying that I am very pro-Isreal.

With that statement made, I have to wonder how so many (not all, but certainly the majority) of American Jews align with the Democratic party. It's the policies/agenda of the Democrats that have traditionally been anti-Isreal and have facilitated this anti-Jewish sentiment.

Maybe I'm totally missing something, but I just don't get it.

We're in the same boat. Even with the blatant anti-Israel statements from some of the Democrats, I don't expect that to change. It makes no sense to me at all.

I agree and I find it fascinating that most of the media and entertainment industry is Jewish controlled.

Full disclosure: I am born again Christian and very pro Israel.

I know few pastors who got severely assaulted by israeli extremist.

it is some stuff media tries not to cover, because israeli extremist beating the shit out of Christian pastors sounds anti Semitic.

It can't be true, Trump was the divider, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS ... they all said so! Everything is golden now that Biden is in the White House!

Seriously, the willingness of American Jews to support those who obviously hate them and work towards Israel's destruction has amazed me for years. It reminds me of a conversation from the TV mini-series "Masada" where the leader of the Jews tells the Roman general, "you should just leave us alone, we'd tear ourselves apart" or words to that effect. Then again, I never would have anticipated Americans supporting Maoist-style indoctrination in our schools or Soviet-style nomenklatura throughout the bureaucracies of federal, state, and even local government.

Where and when were these pastors assaulted? There are extremists on all sides-obviously. This past week in Florida a gun owner witnessed pro-Palestinians (you know those nice peaceful people that celebrated the 9/11 attacks) attacking a Jewish family and he intervened. Can?t copy and past on my cell but it?s easy to find.

Growing up in a neighborhood that had Irish, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Italian, Puerto Rican, Central and South American families we didn?t give two shits about someone?s ethnicity. If I didn?t like someone it?s because either they were an asshole or I was. I still follow this rule at 64 years of age.

I think I have a good understanding why most American Jews are traditionally Democrats though I?m baffled why they?ve stayed that way. Not sure what that has to do with anti-Semitic attacks however.

Leave me alone and I?ll gladly respond in kind.
